This past Friday night, while the All-Stars were hooping it up in Pasadena at Muir HS, there was another All-Star game taking place about 30 miles to the east, specifically the 13th Annual San Bernardino-Riverside County All-Star game at Cajon HS. An not that it matters much but the San Bernardino County all-stars defeated Riverside County, 124-89.

Michael Hall of Pacific, who has signed with Pepperdine scored 24 points. James Phillips of Temecula Valley led the Riverside team with 24 points, and Beaumont's Tory Cohn added nine. San Bernardino twice led by more than 20 points in the first half, but Riverside rallied to close within 12 points by halftime. However, San Bernardino outscored Riverside 66-43 in the second half to put the game away. Heres' the complete scoring: RIVERSIDE (89) -- Mativa 10, Phillips 24, Hampton 12, Mims 9, Downey 3, Cohn 9, Larsen 7, Ware 15.
